However we have samba "home servers" for all of our individual sections, some of which are remote offices. These remote offices internet connection back to us is via a T1 and can get backlogged easily. I am looking into a way to enable the users at these locations to be able to pull packages from a share on their local server rather than pull across the T1 ad be figthing with all of our other users also. I still want to keep the configs and base wpkg centralized so as to make administration easier. I could use rsync and cron to keep the remote packages up to date also. My issue is how to implement this? Would I simply change the individual people's profile.xml SOFTWARE variable to point to the share on their local server? Thanks in advance for an input.

Thanks for that. So if I read correctly you actually have separate servers for each location? Meaning you have each locations wpkg client software pointing to their local server rather than a centralized one? Then you just make changes to the central settings.xml and it propogates to the other servers?
